"I'm going to change so we can head to the guild," Lucy told the boys as she grabbed her clothes and walked to the bathroom.

Before closing the door, she turned to Natsu and Happy and glared at them. "Don't you even dare peek at me."

"A-aye," Natsu and Happy managed to say.

As the bathroom door closed, Natsu went up to Happy and whispered into his ear.

"Of course Natsu," said Happy.

"Thanks buddy. I knew I could count on you." He reached into his pocket and took out some jewels. Then he gave it to the exceed, who gladly took the money and flew out the window.

After he left, Natsu waited patiently for Lucy to finish. His onyx eyes wandered around the room, observing all of the decorations. He saw something from the corner of his eyes. Natsu looked at Lucy's desk and saw a little carousel sitting right on top.

The dragon slayer walked up to the desk and looked at the mini carousel. Its base was pink and yellow and there were three white horses. Natsu felt something on the bottom and started to fiddle with it. Music suddenly came out of the thing, startling the boy and losing his grip on the carousel. Luckily, Natsu caught it and sighed with relief.

"Mama and Otou-san gave it to me for Christmas when I was little."

Natsu turned around and quickly hid the item behind my back. Lucy walked up to me and grabbed the carousel behind him. She started to caress it and then she twisted the thing on the bottom of the carousel. Music filled the air once again.

"This has always been my favorite Christmas gift. It reminds me of Mama and Otou-san..." A wave of nostalgia seemed to wash over Lucy as she started to cry. Tears were falling down on the roof of the machine.

Natsu worriedly looked at the celestial spirit mage.
He didn't know how to handle this situation. So he just followed his instincts and hugged her.

Lucy tensed a little bit, surprised at the dragon slayer's actions. She lifted her head up to face him. "Natsu..."

"I wouldn't really know how to say this, but just remember that your parents will always be with you in your heart." Natsu gave her a subtle smile as he looked into her brown eyes.

Lucy returned the hug and smiled. "Thank you Natsu."

After a few seconds, Natsu broke the hug and offered his hand to Lucy. "Come on, let's go to the guild now."

"Yeah!" Lucy said happily as she placed her memento back on her desk. The celestial mage placed her hand on top of Natsu's hand and smiled. Instead of going to the door, Natsu started to bring Lucy toward the window. The celestial spirit mage noticed this pulled the dragon slayer back.

"Wait, why are we going to the window?" Lucy asked with confusion.

"Because we're exiting through here," Natsu bluntly told Lucy and then jumped out of the window. Lucy managed to let go of his hand before she was dragged out of the window.

"I'm going outside through the door like a normal person!" Lucy yelled out.

"Aw come on Lucy. Don't you ever wonder what it's like to exit through the window?" Natsu pouted at her.

"Where's Happy anyway?" Lucy asked, trying to change the topic.

"He needed to do something, but he'll catch up with us. Now stop changing the subject and jump already!" Natsu told Lucy as he was impatiently waiting for her to jump.

"I don't want to die though!" Lucy argued.

"You're not going to die! I'll catch you!" Natsu reassured her.

Lucy looked at the boy with hesitation. "You promise?" Lucy whispered softly, but he heard her loud and clear.

"I promise," Natsu said confidently.

Lucy stepped on the window sill and then jumped off, screaming during her flight. She landed in Natsu's arms; her body trembling and eyes tightly shut.

"I told you that I will catch you," Natsu told Lucy, who opened her eyes and looked into his eyes. She blushed and then turned her head to the side.

After Natsu put her down, Lucy smiled and then grabbed his hand.

"Let's go now!" Lucy said and then dragged the boy to the guild.
